The iPhone hype is reaching a feverish pitch now that we’re counting the hours before the official release. Apple has posted the rateplans for the iPhone. The good news is that current AT&T customers can keep their existing plans and add the iPhone Data Plan (unlimited email and web and Visual Voicemail) for an additional $20/month. The rates seem reasonable, but I’m still having a hard time justifying the $500.00 pricetag for a phone. (I know, I know, it’s not just a phone.)

Who knows. Maybe I’ll get caught up in the frenzy and in a moment of weakness and delirium, I’ll slap down my credit card for some financial abuse.
